Eric Mabius: 'Ugly Betty ended too early'

Eric Mabius has claimed that the cast of Ugly Betty felt let down by ABC.

The actor - who played Daniel Meade in the comedy drama - admitted that the show's team had been unhappy with the broadcaster's decision to axe the program last year.

"Our show ended too early," he told The Sun. "We were battered about by ABC and even if the fans wanted another series they couldn't have got it because we had been raked over the coals so much by the network.

"We put our best feet forward and felt neglected. Everyone was upset with them for canceling Ugly Betty."

However, Mabius added that there is still hope that the show could continue on the big screen.

"There may still be a romantic conclusion for Daniel and Betty. The fans want a film and hopefully that will happen if enough people ask for it," he said. "Sex And The City was put under a lot of scrutiny when it became a film but certainly didn't suffer in the box office."
